ABSTRACT

In order to contribute to a better knowledge on the relationship between amyloid and tau pathology, and electroencephalography (EEG) disturbances, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of injection of beta amyloid Abeta(1-42) peptide, tau (a recombinant AAV (Adeno-Associated Virus) containing the human transgene tau with the P301 L mutation on rats and the combination of both, on the power of brain's rhythm (delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma waves) during the different sleep/wake states of animals by EEG recording. Currently, no preclinical studies explore the effect of the tau pathology on EEG. The experimentations were performed 3 weeks and 3 months post injections. Beta amyloid deposits and hyperphosphorylated Tau are observed by immunohistofluorescence, only in the hippocampus. Furthermore, using a radial arm water maze, the main effect was observed on working memory which was significantly impaired in Abeta-Tau group only 3 months post injections. However, on EEG, as early as the 3rd week, an overall decrease of the EEG bands power was observed in the treated groups, particularly the theta waves during the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Beta amyloid was mainly involved in these perturbations. Obviously, EEG seems to be an interesting tool in the early diagnostic of amyloid and tau pathologies, with a good sensitivity and the possibility to perform a follow up during a large period.
